* General news
This was a call dedicated to general bugs.
* Current Business
Bug 1122: POSIX should include gettext() and friends OPEN
and https://posix.rhansen.org/p/gettext_draft
Also https://austingroupbugs.net/file_download.php?file_id=64&type=bug
Geoff's addition to XRAT appendix E was noted.
A new PDF will be needed, but we will wait for more comments first.
To be discussed again when more comments are raised.
Bug 1560: clarify wording of command substitution
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1560
Leave this and related bugs 1561 and 1564 open awaiting reviews/discussion.
Bug 1273: glob()'s GLOB_ERR/errfunc and non-directory files OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1273
We will leave this open awaiting feedback.
Bug 1457: Add readlink(1) utility OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1457
Geoff will apply the changes specified in bugnote 5898 to the Issue8NewAPIs
branch in gitlab.
Bug 864: Insufficient specification of storage requirements for synchronization
objects OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=864
This was discussed in the July 25, 2022 teleconference. We believe
that items 1 and 4 may have already been addressed by the addition
of XSH 2.9.9 in TC2. Items 2 and 3 could perhaps be dealt with by
adding more text to that section, but we need proposed wording.
Bug 851: pthread_atfork orphans handlers in unloaded shared libraries Accepted
as Marked
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=851
This item is tagged for TC3-2008
On 2018 edition page 315 line 10683 section <pthread.h> add OB shading to
pthread_atfork().
On 2018 edition page 1560 line 51088-51090 add OB shading to pthread_atfork()
SYNOPSIS.
On 2018 edition page 1562 line 51179 add to pthread_atfork() RATIONALE:
An additional problem arises when pthread_atfork() is called
to register a function in a library that was loaded using
dlopen(). If the library is unloaded using dlclose(), and the
implementation of dlclose() does not unregister the function,
then when fork() tries to call it the result will be undefined
behavior. Some implementations of dlclose() do unregister
pthread_atfork() handlers, but this cannot be relied upon by
portable applications. The standard provides no portable method
for unregistering a function installed as a handler via
pthread_atfork().
On 2018 edition page 1562 line 51181 change pthread_atfork() FUTURE DIRECTIONS
to:
The pthread_atfork( ) function may be removed in a future version of this
standard.
Bug 805: Add Make conditionals Rejected
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=805
As the behavior described in the desired action hasn't actually
been implemented, to our knowledge, and there is insufficient
consensus amongst the variants that have been implemented to pick
one as the de facto standard this request is being rejected. Should
the industry come to a consensus a new bug reflecting that should
be filed.
Bug 798: Addition of a [:symbol:] bracket expression character class expression
Rejected
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=798
This was discussed during the 2022-07-28 conference call. There
is no existing practice for this change, so this bug is rejected.
If anything, it is properly a component of any proposed resolution
to bugid:1548.
Bug 797: Addition of a isw?symbol(_l)?() function family Rejected
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=797
This was discussed during the 2022-07-28 conference call. There
is no existing practice for this change, so this bug is rejected.
If anything, it is properly a component of any proposed resolution
to bugid:1548.
Bug 795: Addition of a new «symbol» character class Rejected
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=795
This was discussed during the 2022-07-28 conference call. There
is no existing practice for this change, so this bug is rejected.
And, the proposed changes conflict with existing character class
requirements. These conflicts should be addressed as part of
bugid:1548, not here.
Bug 792: better definition of thread lifetime OPEN
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=792
We will pick up on this item next time.
